So, well yeah, I knew what your basic mythological/Exile demon was, but aren't they the souls of the damned or something (I could be completely mixed up here)? Do the games mention anything about that? We've cleared up whether there's more than one dimension. And ta, Aran, for the stuff about Demon (I'd forgotten that scenario). But it is interesting that in the E/A series nobody but the Vahnatai go into what happens to you after you die. Also, because of what I'm about to say, I doubt, Drakefyre - with all due respect - that there is a Heaven, a Hell, or even gods. At least from your Empire citizen's perspective. The reason why I'm finding all this troublesome is because of the possibility of ressurection in Ermarian. Okay, yeah, so this should clear it up; when you're gone you're finished, done. There's no afterlife because people who've been there and back have no tale to tell. In general that would explain, too, why humans worshipped concepts (money, abandonment of magic) rather than gods, because those were concepts which gave back to them during life - there is little faith, no promise of future reward. There are no martyrs. Everything good that comes of worshipping at a certain altar is immediate. But don't Sliths and Ogres/Troglos worship idols? Is this because they don't have the power of ressurection? I doubt it, cause there are some powerful Slith wizards out there, not to mention Khazis, and I've bought spells from pagan Slith spellcasters which have been the same spells as human ones. And then how do you explain ghosts and other undead? Aren't they traditionally souls trapped between death and the afterlife? While I realize ressurection is not available to your average Lorelei woodcutter, there are ressurected people. It seems to me you should meet at least some of them, and their stories should be out there, because I certainly don't think the act is commonplace enough for those who have gone under it to be treated completely as normal people. It seems to me there should be a whole culture shift around death in Ermarian (and other games where it's possible to ressurect people), but there never is. Something to just ignore, I guess. Oh well. My game knowledge is a little shaky so I'm aware the above 'isn't there's' may all be bull. Thanks for any replies, Rosycat. -------------------- Rosy again Polaris - Fun in the City My BoE Dialogue Pix - Talking to the Wall Posts: 12 | Registered: Thursday, March 17 2005 08:00 |

Is there any proof that all demons come from the same dimension? What are demons anyway? Does anybody know what Ermarians(sorry), with their various religious affiliations, believe happens to them when they die? What about ghosts? -------------------- Rosy again Polaris - Fun in the City My BoE Dialogue Pix - Talking to the Wall Posts: 12 | Registered: Thursday, March 17 2005 08:00 |

^Nice. Mind- How can you condemn the prostitutes themselves (as opposed to the system)? I know girls who would, I think, qualify for your 'debasement' and they aren't paid to do so. I suppose that in your opinion the payment is part of the issue, but I have problems with that too. Prostitution is an option when there aren't any others. I'm hardly going to go out and walk the street in four (or less) years cause I feel like a little extra cash. -------------------- Rosy again Polaris - Fun in the City My BoE Dialogue Pix - Talking to the Wall Posts: 12 | Registered: Thursday, March 17 2005 08:00 |

Hm. City culture is universal. I think it's just a matter of degree and architecture which changes anything. We have snow coated over with a slick layer of ice and roads coated over with a slick layer of ice and dirt coated over with a slick layer of ice. It is marvelous. I slip and come this close to breaking my head open practically daily. -------------------- Rosy again Polaris - Fun in the City My BoE Dialogue Pix - Talking to the Wall Posts: 12 | Registered: Thursday, March 17 2005 08:00 |

Even though I probably shouldn't say anything, seeing as I won't enter, I'd just like to condone this idea. It's awesome. There could be two pearls maybe? The idea being that designers could pick one.

Speechless. That's terrible. Obviously, such protest always involves a certain amount of risk, but it's unbelievable that someone would actually take advantage of that risk.
